24 Things You’ll Miss About America When You Move to Australia

I’ve been away from the United States for 10 weeks now and—I have to admit—I’m getting a little homesick. It’s not the best feeling in the world, but it happens. I think what I really miss the most is the familiarity of America. (Yeah, I never thought I would miss America but sometimes all you want is a familiar brand of peanut butter to put on your Oreos. And then not look like a weirdo for putting peanut butter on your Oreos.)

So I’ve been thinking about what I miss about America, and what America has that the rest of the world doesn’t have (which is a lot but I’ll keep it short). The saying seriously does hold true—you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. Or something like that.

But anyways, here are 24 things you’ll miss about America when you move to Australia. It’s the little things.
